Potassium and sodium are very important elements as they perform vital biological functions in the human body. They are required by the body for cellular stability, but levels that are out of normal range can result in severe problems with neuromuscular, cardiac, and renal function (Peate & Dutton, 2014, 201).
A good calibration curve should have an R-squared value greater than 0.97; therefore our curves were within the required range. The results of emission intensity fluctuated at times, but the sources of error mainly revolve around the photometer. Emission intensity fluctuation in the photometer reading was an area of concern.
But high intake of sodium leads to high blood pressure in some people or a serious build-up of fluid in people that result in cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, or kidney disease. Potassium is critical to heart function and plays a major role in skeletal and smooth muscle contraction which makes it essential for normal digestive and muscular function.
However, such environmental disasters occur when the capacity of the environment to absorb such pollutants is exceeded. Apart from observing the environmental problems that occur in any given area such as flooding, species extinction, environmental analysis involves an investigation of the principal causes of such events and proposing recommendations to ensure that such events do not recur.

The volatile liquid evaporates due to heat. This alters the chemical composition of the liquid. As a result, the chromatogram of the liquid that has been evaporated would be different from that which has not been evaporated. To solve these problems, the standard collection can be expanded to include different levels of evaporated chromatograms of liquid.
The absorbance wavelength is between 250 and 300 nm, which means that the screens protect the skin from ultraviolet rays in the UVB region. The Active dry touch lotion shows slightly better UVB absorbing capability compared to the rest of the sunscreens, followed by kids' sunscreen and sport respectively. Below are the active ingredients in each of the sunscreens, and their proportions.
UV light absorption causes most of the sunscreen active ingredients to undergo structural changes or chemical reactions on the skin. Normally, these ingredients quickly return to their original state to absorb more UV radiation. However, these ingredients may degrade with time and lose their UV protectiveness, hence lowering the absorbance (Lowe).
Synthesis of three dimensional ZnO nanostructures through the hydrothermal process by use of ammonia and zinc acetate at a temperature of 65oC yields successful results. The temperature during the synthesis process has an effect on the particle size, bandgap, sensitivity, and structural defects. Increase in temperature beyond the required temperature results in an increased size of particles.

The wavelength at which this absorbance takes place is an indication of the particle size of the element. Most peak absorptions of the solutions occurred between 500 nm and 600 nm of wavelength. This optical spectrum of the nanoparticles is due to surface plasmon absorption. Characterization of metal nanoparticles is very important when it comes to their applications in various fields.
Commercial magnetite fluids consist of micro-meter particles that cannot be suspended by Brownian motion, but instead, will settle after some time due to a difference in inherent density between the particles and the carrier fluid. The surfactant used overcomes the attractive magnetic and Van der Waals forces between particles in a ferrofluid (Pant, Rashmi, and Krishna).
Control of wetting behavior of both liquids and solids by measurement of contact angle has some important industrial applications, such as the establishment of how clean semiconductor wafers are, penetration of pesticides when applied to plants, waterproofing materials among many other fields of applications.

The biosensor is simple and less expensive to make and its performance can be easily tested compared to the TNT biosensor. The TNT biosensor has a limited detection with a catalytic response that depends on the concentration of the solution. It also has high flexibility and therefore, highly adaptable compared to silicon sensors.
Scientists have accurately established that atoms achieve the status of stability by either losing gaining or sharing electrons. The nucleus comprises the neutrons and the protons. The addition of the neutrons and the protons gives the atomic mass of any specific element in the periodic table.
They possess the same atomic structure, physical properties, and chemical composition that real diamonds have. The diamond is also known as CVD diamond or HPHT diamond after the two common production methods referred to the chemical vapor deposition and high-pressure high-temperature crystal formation methods respectively.
A flashpoint is identified by putting little quantity of the sample to be tested into the testing cup apparatus. Cooling or heating is done till the expected temperature, i.e. the lowest temperature level whereby there is the release of ignitable vapor. A flame is introduced to the sample thus bringing about a little flash over the liquid.
Superficial- this where is where the skin epidermis is affected but blisters do not form
Partial-thickness - burn is where the skin epidermis and dermis are affected and this type of burn is deep. Blisters are formed in these partial degrees burns which take between two to three weeks to heal.
Apart from playing the important role of photosynthesis in plants, it is also a weighty component in the adjusting of the globe’s temperatures in what is commonly referred to as the greenhouse effect. Co2 is one of the greenhouse gases, hence plays a vital function as far as warming of the planet is concerned.
This shows that carbon dioxide is important for sustainable living in a balanced world. Moreover, carbon is only harmless to the atmosphere at controlled levels that do not exceed its percentage proportion in the atmospheric composition.However, various human activities escalate carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, posing dangers to the environment (Charles, & Varma, 2010, p.13).
Human activities that result in GHGs production include industrial production, farming, motor vehicles, aviation, and electricity production among others (Scientific Assessment 2010). The United States of America contributes greatly to the global carbon emissions with other fast-developing nations the following suit due to increased burning of fossil fuel.

Both artificial and natural polymers play a significant and pervasive role in everyday life. Polymers are inclusive of a wide variety of categories from the common artificial plastics which include polystyrene to natural biopolymers which include DNA and other proteins that are very significant to biological composition and roles.
The cells are grown in the presence of x-gal. If there is successful ligation, the colony will remain white, but if not, the colony would turn blue. This procedure is a simple and faster way of detecting successful ligated genes. The organic X-gal compound contains galactose which is associated with a substituted indole and is normally used to test the presence of β-galactosidase.
Solubilization of hydrophobic drugs is a commonly encountered problem in screening analysis of new drugs together with the preparation as well as its development. There are a number of ways to counter this challenge in order to improve the solubilization of the hydrophobic drugs to improve their bioavailability.
Not all of the cells are transformed, due to inefficiencies, a given portion of the cell takes up the plasmid. The transformation efficiencies for the colonies in the second ligation plate had 20100 transformance/µg, which is higher compared to transformation efficiencies in the first ligation plate which had 21 transformance/µg.
Plasmids can also be used to propagate foreign genes and are referred to as vectors (Casali & Preston, 2003). In this practical, purified plasmid pBR322 was isolated from E-coli strains grown in the presence of ampicillin. It consists of 4,361 base pairs together with tetracycline (Tet) and antibiotic resistance genes for ampicillin (Amp).

Wakil et al. (2010), state that the word sporopollenin was coined by Zetzschel in a description of the extremely resilient exine of spores and pollen as well as other microspores. Archeologists have found pristine pollen grains that have survived inside sedimentary rocks for periods agreed upon as being over 500 million years.
The experimental setup consisted of water with a cleaning agent (electrochemical corrosion) and freshwater with oxygen (chemical). In such circumstances as these, water with a cleaning agent catalyzed the corrosion process of the metal while conditions with oxygenated water occurred naturally and slowly as compared to its counterpart.
Relationship of neuronal function to nutrition: All the nervous system phases including the activities at synapses and axons are influenced by nutritional status. The brain is fueled by glucose, and glucose is metabolised in presence of minerals and vitamins in the mitochondria, to form energy intermediates like adenosine triphosphate.
The company must put in place the necessary fire detection and fire-sensing systems that can help detect and report fire incidences in case a person is not near the fire source. Fire alarms, smoke signals, and sensors that can detect temperature changes are part of the essential equipment to be installed at the premises.
The Company’s discharge is likely to affect the wildlife in the river. Accidents during transportation of the gas may pollute the environment. Likewise, uncontrollable environmental risks are mostly fatal which may lead to loss of life of the company’s laborers or physical property. Gas leaking from the tanks also contributes to air pollution.
Early exploration of gas and oils looked into finding the conventional reservoirs that allowed the hydrocarbons to flow naturally and with ease to the surface.

Štulík & Zýka in their definition gives more emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of analytical science in their conceptualization. According to them, analytical chemistry entails application and experimentation in the discipline of natural science. They note that the discipline is not only anchored on chemistry, but also physics, biology, information theory, and other fields of technology.
The development of fire protection measures is constantly challenged by architects with unique features and structures. As a result, fire protection engineers use performance-based designs. In this case, the engineer has to be aware of a fire scenario and the ability to predict fire behavior with practical engineering tools.
This test is used in identifying the glass type to which the two samples of glass belong to. From table 4 the mean values of the different compositions of glass in each glass type have been given. From the table, it can be observed that the milk bottle has the highest value of Na2O with a value of 16.33 while the least was 5.8325which was recorded in pyrex utensil.
There are four structures namely quaternary, tertiary, and secondary, and the primary structures. Some of the roles that are played by the proteins in the body of the organism include transportation, growth and development, Signaling cascades, cell signaling or ligand binding, cellular functions, hormonal functions, and also catalytic functions.
The reaction of hydroxymethyl-EDOT with bromodecane gave the decyloxy substituted EDOT 6 in a 95% yield. Lithiation of 6 with n-butyl lithium and reaction with chloro tributyltin gave the stannyl derivative 5 as a mixture of two regio-isomers (yield 95%). Bromination of dihexylthienopyrazine with NBS gave the Bromo compound 3 in 60% yields.
Energy can be defined as the ability to cause change or do work or the aptitude of a physical structure to execute work. There are diverse forms of energy which include potential energy, kinetic energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, nuclear energy, and electric energy. Energy is lost when it is transferred from one form to another and this is termed as a necessary evil.
During the early times where indirect methods of controlling corrosion are yet to be discovered, mankind has struggled to overcome the limitations of their most astounding discovery, the metals, knowing that all the efforts they have done to extract and process these metals from their ores will be in vain if the rate of corrosion is not reduced.
When metals were discovered during the Bronze Age, so much of human society has changed and so much has been achieved. The development and progress brought about by the discovery and the utilization of metals, however, is seriously impeded by the elements that tend to destabilize its strength and hence, usability – rusts or corrosions (Bertolotti & Hurst, 1978).
Corrosion is a serious problem but there is no definite technology that could counter the effects of corrosion. Existing technology only slows down the rate of corrosion in metals by sheathing the surface of the metal with a protective coating that enhances the hardness of the material as well as its resistance to oxidation.
Iodine deficiency leads to cognitive function during childhood. Studies that have been carried out by various scientist shows, for example, moderate iodine deficiency specifically in children led to a great reduction in IQ by almost 12 to 13.5 points. Iodine supplementation and especially for children who stay in areas with iodine deficiency seems to be affected both physically and mentally.
